HELP! Added new startup application now BT wont boot!

I added a quick script to System > Startup Applications (openvpn /etc/openvpn/btguard.conf)
and now my startx wont boot up
just stuck with purple screen
Ive checked /etc/init.d/ for .desktop files and I cant find any non standard .desktop files
how do I stop this script from loading? is there a safe mode of startx?

Re: HELP! Added new startup application now BT wont boot!

Just to add to the excelent reply by charonsecurity, and just in case, before removing the file, do this: chmod 777 /etc/openvpn/btguard.conf

Then see if script is already running, I do not think so, but make sure: ps -A

and see if you can find any program or service that is called out by your script (btguard.conf), if so, see the id number and then just kill -9 "id of program or service" or killall -9 "name of service or program".
